a pleasant surprise

well that was fun.

i checked on the phillies' game during the 9th inning. after seeing that they were down 3-0 moving into the bottom of the inning... i sighed and let out an, "aw come on phils! UGH. i can't stand it." then i moved on with life... swallowing another loss.

but lo and behold... i happened to catch a brief snippet of something [that i can't remember] that compelled me to check the scoreboard.

THE PHILLIES PULLED OFF THE WIN. a four-run ninth... including two homers, by chris snelling [who replaced the flyin' hawaiian on the roster] and burrell. chase also got hit by another pitch and scored on burrell's rocket. then... jenkins got on first after striking out b/c the catcher couldn't handle the ball [which i still don't understand]... and then scored from first on pedro's double... which was BEAUTIFULLY placed. apparently, jenkins ignored the stop sign from the 3rd base coach and just kept running. it paid off... cuz his run won the game.

the replays on sportscenter never get old. : )
